Annotation

Thrash Metal band, formed in 2005 in Bogotá, Colombia. The song "Vietcong" - a reference to the "VC" - the National Liberation Front of South Vietnam (Vietnamese: Mặt trận Dân tộc Giải phóng Miền Nam Việt Nam) (NLFSV or NLF), the political and military resistance to the US and South Vietnamese government from within South Vietnam - the narrator seemed to use the Vietcong as a reference point to compare with a contemporary situation, possible imprisonment: "behind a prison wall... crying for a revolution". The album was recorded through 2015 at S.O.S Studios, Bogotá, Colombia and mixed in 2016.
